Chapter 471: Chapter 465: Seeking Elder Bai’s Assistance
From the reaction of the Peacock Great Ming King, Lin Yuan guessed that the attack on Kong Mengmeng was most likely the work of those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Lin Yuan also held no good opinions of that group of old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
That group of old immortals was cowardly, hiding in the remote mountains all day, not daring to oppose the World Honored.
Yet they expected others to oppose the World Honored to win themselves a chance at enlightenment.
This time, Lin Yuan could roughly guess the motives behind the old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains making a move against Kong Mengmeng.
Last time, Elder Bai and the others took Lin Yuan and forcibly borrowed some Anti-Avoidance Pills from those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Especially Lin Yuan’s tough stance, which only offended them further, causing them to bear grudges against him and Elder Bai.
By attacking Kong Mengmeng, they provoked the Peacock Great Ming King, stirring the waters of the Mysterious World.
If the Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t find Kong Mengmeng, then the most likely suspects would be two groups.
One was the side of the World Honored, the other was Elder Bai’s side.
No matter which side the Peacock Great Ming King turns against, those old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains can accept it.
If the Peacock Great Ming King acts against Elder Bai, it would help them resolve an old grudge.
If the Peacock Great Ming King acts against the World Honored, it adds a formidable enemy to the World Honored, dimming his hopes of enlightenment.
Either way, they benefit like fishermen waiting to reap the rewards.
After guessing the thoughts of those old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lin Yuan could only sigh internally: "These old immortals are like a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch!"
"Hiding in the mountains all day long, they’ve clearly gone senile."
Don’t they think about the consequences before acting?
The whole Mysterious World knows that the Peacock Great Ming King is a devoted father.
If you touch his daughter, you’re forcing him to fight desperately against you.
In any case, those old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains have stirred up big trouble this time.
To calm the Peacock Great Ming King’s fury won’t be easy.
Whether those old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains live or die, Lin Yuan doesn’t care.
Lin Yuan is worried that if anything happens to the Peacock Great Ming King, Kong Mengmeng will find it hard to accept.
Moreover, Lin Yuan thinks the Peacock Great Ming King could potentially become their ally.
If he ends up fighting to the death with those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains and gets trapped there, that would be a great loss.
However, battles involving Tier Two Peak powerhouses are not something Lin Yuan can intervene in.
What he must do now is hurry to the East Sea and persuade Elder Bai and the others to help the Peacock Great Ming King.
The Peacock Great Ming King alone would have a hard time soloing the Ten Thousand Mountains quest.
However, if Elder Bai and the four of them join forces, there might be hope of passing through the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"East Sea!"
"Why are we going to the East Sea? Let’s quickly help my father!" Kong Mengmeng asked, puzzled.
Lin Yuan: "????"
Lin Yuan thought, this lovesick fool, her already not-so-high IQ has taken another hit after encountering trouble.
"Sis, what use is there for us in a fight among Tier Two Peak experts?"
"If we go, we won’t be helping, we’d just be causing more trouble!" Lin Yuan looked at Kong Mengmeng, speaking in a helpless tone: "Come with me to the East Sea to find help."
Upon hearing that they were going to the East Sea to find helpers for her father, Kong Mengmeng immediately urged: "Great!"
"Good! Then let’s hurry to the East Sea."
Without another word, Lin Yuan took Kong Mengmeng’s hand and used the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo’s ability to rush toward the East Sea.
...
...
East Sea.
In the White Jade Palace beneath the sea.
The Golden-Winged Roc had already sent all the Gourmands Lin Yuan brought to the World Honored’s territory.
At the same time, people arranged by the Dean of the Real World were manipulating these Gourmands to disguise themselves as part of the World Honored’s forces and lay low.
"Who knows how that kid Lin Yuan is doing!"
"In the vast void, finding a person isn’t easy."
"If he hasn’t been found, that kid might just be twiddling his thumbs somewhere!" The Golden-Winged Roc anxiously remarked.
The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder shot a glance at the Golden-Winged Roc and grumbled, "Don’t jinx it!"
Elder Bai slowly spoke, "That kid won’t be in trouble; there’s providence for blessed people. In the boundless void, it’s tough for others to find him, but that boy is no ordinary person."
"He has great fortune; perhaps he’s already found the people now."
Just as Elder Bai finished speaking, Lin Yuan and Kong Mengmeng appeared before them.
Elder Bai: "????"
Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder: "????"
Golden-Winged Roc: "????"
Black Bear Spirit: "????"
Everyone present was bewildered, was Elder Bai’s guess spot-on?
He had just mentioned Lin Yuan, and here he was.
"Elder Bai, you’re truly amazing with your predictions!"
"You never cease to amaze!" The Black Bear Spirit couldn’t help but give Elder Bai a thumbs-up.
Hearing such praise, Elder Bai felt a bit embarrassed.
Elder Bai thought, what predictions? I didn’t even make any predictions!
The truth is, I just made an offhand remark.
But in this situation, Elder Bai didn’t bother to explain, putting on a mysteriously wise smile.
Lin Yuan: "????"
Listening to their conversation, Lin Yuan was equally confused and asked in surprise, "Elder Bai, did you predict my return?"
"Since that’s the case, I’ll cut to the chase; the Peacock Great Ming King went to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and I suspect something’s about to go down."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan say that the Peacock Great Ming King had gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains, Elder Bai first looked startled, then seemed to recall something and asked: "What’s going on exactly?"
Given the urgency of time, Lin Yuan didn’t beat around the bush and directly explained, "Elder Bai, here’s what happened..."
Lin Yuan recounted the events, including some of his own suspicions, in detail.
After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the Golden-Winged Roc coldly stated, "Those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains have hit a brick wall this time; serves them right!"
The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "They are truly despicable; those scoundrels in the Ten Thousand Mountains are scheming against us!"
"When the Peacock Great Ming King came before, if we hadn’t cleared things up, we might have fought him to the death."
After some contemplation, Elder Bai looked at the three and inquired, "I’m considering lending a hand to the Peacock Great Ming King."
"The Peacock Great Ming King already owes us a favor; if we help him again this time, he might very well join our team."
"If our team can include the Peacock Great Ming King, it would become the strongest it has ever been."
